Most of the space is taken up with case histories to illustrate and reinforce Klein\u2019s arguments. Klein is a very good storyteller and she has done a great deal of research; the book is a goldmine of specifics. In this discussion I summarize her conclusions, omitting most of the factual background for those conclusions. I assure you it is there.<\/p>\n<p>In chapter after chapter Klein convincingly makes her points, but I do not believe she succeeds in her main point that it is capitalism vs. the climate. In fact, she even suggests several \u201ccapitalist\u201d solutions to the climate crisis. As I will describe later, I believe she has done something even more valuable by reframing the issue as Extractivism vs. Blockadia, abstract economics vs. our connection to the earth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecopsychology.org\/this-changes-everything-by-naomi-klein\/\" target=\"_blank\">Read the full review\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Changes Everything by Naomi Klein Knopf Canada, 2014.
